What changes locally
The state law is only the first layer.
Colorado is mature enough that price, local taxes and business competition now matter as much as legalization itself. Denver remains the most useful city-level lens.
City licensing, zoning, retailer verification, taxes and consumption options can change what legalization feels like on the ground. The city guides below keep the statewide rule visible while adding the local layer that actually affects a visit, a home grow or a job search.
